Update #1: So it seems the USB dongle that I use for my FitBit Zip to sync with my PC is conflicting with the Kindle somehow and causing the problem below.
This is the second time this dumb dongle has caused a problem with a USB device.

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

I plug my PW2 into my Windows 7 PC and it goes into USB Drive Mode.
I eject it so that it can continue indexing my eBooks.

Now if I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in it will either go to the USB Drive Mode (where it shows a picture of the MicroUSB cable and says to eject it) for 1 second then goes to my homepage OR it just stays on the homepage and starts charging.

If I want it to get back into USB Drive Mode I need to either reboot the PW2 or my PC.

Has this happened to anyone else? Did you guys ever find a solution to this? This is the 2nd PW2 I've tried that had this happen.

Also, is it normal behavior to NOT sleep the PW2 when you're charging it? Even after 10+ minutes it doesn't go into sleep mode and the light stays on. I'm charging it using my PC.
I stopped using FitBit for the exact same reason, it was conflicting with ANY Hardrive or USB Stick I had plugged in the other USB Slot just next to it. When one of my Stick (64GB), with important data on it, got ruined, I pulled the Fitbit out for good and have had no problems ever since with any of my 3 USB Slots.
